Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the general field of telecommunications, and in particular to microcellular wireless networks for interactive television, data and telephony communications.
  • a number of networks have been developed and are being developed for delivery of interactive television, data and telephony services.
  • a variety of delivery architectures, structures and mechanisms permit a wide range of functionality.
  • some networks which offer only limited interactivity, employ existing coaxial cable infrastructure plus existing telephone lines for return path communications (upstream).
  • Other networks employ Asymmetrical Digital Subscriber-Line (“ADSL”) technology which forwards compressed digital video signals over existing twisted pair telephone lines at up to two Mb/s.
  • a third broad category, the hybrid network employs fiber optic links between the headend and a number of nodes which service neighborhoods of approximately 500 homes, and which connect to subscribers via coaxial cable links.
  • Fiber-to-the-curb In a fourth broad category, known as fiber-to-the-curb, fiber optic links pass the subscribers more closely and connect to subscribers via twisted pair loops. Fiber-to-the-curb networks are more expensive than the hybrid and ADSL networks, but are generally considered more robust and capable of accommodating greater interactivity because they are capable of accommodating greater bandwidth.
  • Such physical links also degrade over time due in part to moisture, temperature and flexure excursions, and the inherent environmental risks on the pole and in the ground. Such degradation can impose considerable efficiency losses over time, particularly as content suppliers require increasingly greater bandwidth capacity and efficiency.
  • wireless cable is impervious to physical degradation.
  • the "last mile" to the customer's home multiplied by the number of subscribers in the network comprises the vast proportion of the physical cable plant. Accordingly, replacement of that cable with wireless communications has received increasing attention in recent years.
  • MMDS Multichannel Multipoint Distribution Service
  • MMDS operates in the 2.1-2.7 Ghz microwave band, with a total of 33 analog 6-Mhz channels.
  • Digital compression allows such MMDS networks with 33 analog channels to transport 100 to 180 digital programs.
  • One entrant in the field has investigated combining MMDS with a telephone line return path for near video on demand capability. As a practical matter, it is apparent that with POTS return, full interactivity is probably not and never will be deployable due to the signaling logistics of TCP/IP networks.
  • MMDS has been viewed as providing insufficient bandwidth for full duplex interactive communications. Accordingly, certain entrants have investigated so called Local Multipoint Distribution Systems ("LMDS"). These operate at approximately 28 Ghz and follow the model of the cellular telephone. The high frequencies and concomitant greater bandwidth are tradeoffs for shorter transmission paths and thus smaller cell sizes. The higher frequencies also subject such networks to increased attenuation from foliage, weather, and other physical manifestations which obstruct the required line of sight path between the node and the subscriber station. In short, LMDS networks are viewed by some as lacking the robust RF link necessary to support emerging residential interactive video, data and telephony communications requirements which customers are demanding and which are becoming part of the required suite of services offered by entrants in this field. In order to obtain critical mass for coverage, LMDS cell sites would, at least in many parts of the country, be entirely too close to each other to be commercially and economically justified.
  • LMDS Local Multipoint Distribution Systems
  • Systems, methods and devices according to the present invention provide a practical implementation of wireless delivery of services including interactive video, data and voice-grade telephony.
  • Network interfaces and delivery platforms according to the present invention replace the fiber/coaxial/twisted pair drop, or "last mile" of copper plant in the ADSL, coaxial, hybrid and fiber to the curb wireline networks mentioned above.
  • Low power Microcellular Wireless Drop (“MWD”) networks according to the present invention provide an economically attractive alternative to the high cost of coaxial distribution plant which is currently deployed en masse, as well as twisted pair and fiber links.
  • MWD architecture allows for service to be connected from a point further away from the customer, such that the target population does not need to be "passed" to be served.
  • MMDS networks use MMDS frequencies, but in a low power, microcellular way that allows for interactivity of the sort demanded by customers and content providers. Unlike LMDS networks, they allow for increased robustness in radiofrequency transmissions at lower frequencies, which permits more reliable telephony signaling and communication so as to approximate the basic lifeline requirements to which at least some of such signaling and communication must comply.
  • the present invention takes advantage of existing allocated frequency spectrum which is currently authorized and in use both domestically and internationally for broadcast video services, and specified as MMDS.
  • the spectrum consists of two bands that are spectrally separate in the frequency ranges of 2150-2162 MHz and 2500-2686 MHz.
  • the bands are allocated for video broadcasting in 6 MHz channels (domestically) to be consistent with current NTSC compliant television channels.
  • the present invention employs a different plan, however: That the lower frequency band of 2150-2162 be converted to an upstream back channel for full-duplex bi-directional capability, and that signals on the higher frequency bands be modulated and multiplexed in new ways to permit analog video, digital video, internet, analog voice, digital voice, and other signals of present and future existing formats and protocols to be handled with maximum flexibility, robustness and reliability.
  • FIG. 1 shows, in schematic form, a network architecture according to a preferred embodiment of the invention.
  • Such transceivers are connected to a fiber optic infrastructure which may be similar or identical to the fiber feeder layout of the conventional hybrid fiber/coaxial networks mentioned above. They are sufficiently small to mount on existing poles such as light poles, power poles, and utility poles.
  • These remote node transceivers convert the modulated and channelized combined optical signal to an electrical radiofrequency ("RF") signal and broadcast that signal to a number of subscribers located within a defined coverage area of preferably 1000-2000 feet.
  • the microcells are cross-polarized between adjacent cells, or if desirable, between adjacent sectors of a given cell, to mitigate harmful interference.
  • the subscriber station features an integrated antenna/transceiver that receives video, digital and telephony signals, downconverts them to an intermediate frequency, and feeds them via coax to a Home Distribution Terminal ("HDT") or Network Interface Unit (“NIU").
  • the transceiver equipment is preferably mounted at roof level to allow for best reception of signal from the remote node transceiver.
  • the HDT is a component that is similar to current state-of-the-art digital set-top decoders, yet also allows termination/distribution in the subscriber's house of digital voice and data traffic.
  • the NIU demultiplexes and splits the incoming signals at a common point (i.e. the house entry point) and distributes those signals to the necessary equipment.
  • the subscriber station equipment preferably but not necessarily the HDT or NIU, combines or multiplexes the upstream data and voice channels so that the information can be sent back upstream in the network.
  • the transceiver also includes equipment for the reception of the upstream data and telephony traffic. The transceiver forwards this upstream traffic over fiber to the headend, where the signal is split into data and telephony components and routed to the proper path.
  • a band split plan according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is outlined below in Table 1.
  • This table shows how the video, data and telephony signals may be split up and modulated separately to obtain the required performance results for each service.
  • the higher density modulation schemes 64, 256 QAM and 16, 64 VSB
  • Lower density modulations such as BPSK and QPSK offer much more reliability under the same environmental parameters but accommodate much less data throughput capability.
  • higher level modulations are desirable.
  • voice circuits that can approximate non-interruptible "life-line" service is achievable using lower level modulations that sacrifice capacity for reliability. With the broad 6 MHz bandwidth allowed, this capacity even at BPSK modulation would likely never be limiting due to the limited geographical coverage of the microcell.
  • TDMA Time Division Multiple Access
  • a total of 320 simultaneous voice grade circuits is achievable. Assuming two of those circuits are used for control and signaling, a total of 318 simultaneous voice grade circuits are available.
  • the telephony circuits employ both Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM) to separate upstream/downstream transmission paths and TDMA between users to maximize efficiency and keep costs low.
  • FDM Frequency Division Multiplexing
  • TDMA Time Division Multiplexing
  • PCS Personal Communication Systems
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic high level architectural diagram of a preferred form of wireless cable network according to the present invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a schematic view of a preferred embodiment of a headend control office according to the present invention.
  • FIG. 3 is a schematic view of a preferred embodiment of a remote node transceiver according to the present invention.
  • FIG. 4 is a schematic view of a preferred embodiment of a subscriber station according to the present invention.
  • FIG. 5 is a schematic view of a subscriber Network Interface Unit according to the present invention.
  • FIG. 1 shows, in schematic form, a headend control office 10 connected via fiber optic links 12 to a plurality of remote node transceivers 14.
  • Transceivers 14 convert optical energy into radiofrequency energy, in the microwave, and preferably the MMDS bands, for transmission to subscriber stations 16, each of which may correspond to a subscriber's home.
  • Transceivers 14 also receive transmissions at microwave, preferably MMDS, frequencies from subscriber stations 16, and convert such energy to optical energy for forwarding to headend control office 10 via fiber optic links 12, thus allowing the network to provide full duplex bi-directional interactive video, data and telephone (voice or otherwise) communications.
  • the Headend Control Office (“HCO”) 10 includes all centrally located signal processing equipment in the network.
  • the HCO includes all components in the video delivery chain such as satellite decoders and transcoders, off-air receivers, real-time digital encoders and other components conventionally found in a cable headend (shown using numeral 18 in FIG. 2).
  • It also includes internet and other network servers 20 as may be appropriate, and preferably includes public switched telecommunications network (“PSTN”) interconnects 22 for telephony capability.
  • PSTN public switched telecommunications network
  • Video servers 24 may be included to store and provide video on demand and other video content as required or requested by subscribers using the network.
  • Routers 26, digital multiplexers 28, modulators 30, combiners 32, splitters 34 and other (or fewer) components are employed as may be necessary or appropriate to prepare the video signals 36, data signals 38 and telephony signals 40 for transmission to remote node transceivers 14 via fiber optic links 12 using fiber-optic transmitters 36.
  • the HCO 10 may house components such as the channel management control computer 42, data routers 44 as desired, demultiplexers 46, demodulators 48 and return path fiber optic receivers 50 for processing subscriber data signals 52 and subscriber telephony signals 54.
  • Broadcast video signals 36 may be received through any of a number of sources as mentioned above, including satellite receivers and off the air receivers, MPEG II or otherwise digitally encoded (if analog), groomed and configured in the multiplexer 28, modulated and channelized onto an RF carrier, combined with other channels, split (for transmission to other node transceivers 14) and sent over fiber optic plant 12 to the remote node transceivers 14.
  • the combining process after RF may be done on a non-adjacent carrier basis, as is currently the norm for a high power MMDS transmitter. If not combined on adjacent channels, dual fiber feeders are required.
  • the fibers may be optically excited using state-of-the-art Externally Modulated Distributed Feedback (DFB) laser transmitters.
  • DFB Distributed Feedback
  • DFB's allow extremely broadband RF signals to be optically modulated with the most efficiency, and hence allow for the entire spectrum of downstream voice, data and telephony to be carried on a single fiber. This ensures that low cost can be maintained throughout the network since the F/O transmitters are generally the most expensive single component in the transmission network.
  • a Node Radio Control Unit provides time slot management to the individual voice circuits and handle the contention management protocols such as slotted aloha. Communication between the Remote Node Transceiver and the individual subscriber terminals may be performed via an overhead channel within the downstream and upstream RF channels.
  • the low-cost remote node transceiver 14 connects to the bi-directional fiber optic links 12 that originate at the headend control office 10.
  • This fiber optic plant 12 or infrastructure carries the modulated and channelized RF carriers that contain the video, data and telephony signals (36, 38 and 40 respectively) in bit stream form.
  • a simplified schematic of the low-cost low-power remote node transceivers is 14 shown in FIG. 3.
  • the remote node transceivers may be based on a single broadband booster amplifier that outputs approximately 20 mW of power per channel. This translates into 13 dBm/channel or equivalently -23 dBW/channel.
  • an Effective Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) of 29 dBm/channel (or -1 dBW/channel) is broadcast.
  • EIRP Effective Isotropic Radiated Power
  • Convention LMDS architecture typically outputs 28-30 dBm/channel, or at least 50 times the required transmit power per channel as is required by the present invention.
  • That conventional LMDS type of power is only available in Traveling Wave Tube (TWT) amplifiers for broadband transmissions or discrete channel solid state amplifiers.
  • TWT's are renowned for their short life span and high cost, currently approximately $50K each.
  • Solid State amplifiers at 28 GHz are still very much in prototype stage for these kinds of power outputs. They are extremely limited in their bandwidth capability, have thermal dissipation problems and require a single amplifier for each RF channel. This implies 30+ solid state amplifiers (with expensive control circuitry) per LMDS node which affects cost, size, reliability and maintenance, all negatively when compared to the present invention's MWD equipment topography. Conventional LMDS in any event appears to be hard to justify economically, especially in regions of the country that have foliage and high rainfall rates.
  • Additional backup power can be battery backup or generator backup located at the transceiver site.
  • the backup power may be configured to power only the voice channels for emergency lifeline service.
  • Another broad approach is to include intelligence in the transceiver itself that automatically shuts off the video and data channels, passes the voice traffic and automatically adjusts the total broadband output power down to the level of the voice channel only. This may be performed by an automatic level control (“ALC”) circuit in the transceiver architecture, although it adds extra cost and complexity to the transceiver.
  • ALC automatic level control
  • the microcells preferably consist of at least three radiating sectors (120° each) and are cross polarized between adjacent cells to mitigate harmful interference due to the many transmitters in a given geographical area.
  • the low power of the transmitters, the attenuation characteristics of foliage and building blockage, and the isolation gained by cross polarizing should prove adequate for reducing interfering signals in most cases.
  • a four or more sector transceiver (90° each) could be implemented using cross polarization between adjacent sectors. The better isolation may be counteracted by increased cost and complexity, however.
  • Such techniques include simulcasting the broadcast signals by controlling the relative timing of signals at each transmitter and taking advantage of adaptive equalization in the set top to cancel out the interfering signals.
  • simulcasting the broadcast signals by controlling the relative timing of signals at each transmitter and taking advantage of adaptive equalization in the set top to cancel out the interfering signals.
  • ATV Advanced Television
  • Digital MMDS Digital MMDS that are currently being built.
  • the interference is canceled out since the interfering signal appears like multipath to the receiver.
  • Use of the adaptive equalization techniques which are currently deployed in digital microwave systems makes this a readily available implementation that should prove cost effective.
  • downstream and upstream data and voice should be somewhat immune to interference due to the more robust modulation schemes proposed (QPSK, BPSK, etc.) for these services. If more rejection is required, the use of frequency reuse factors greater than one can be engineered which offers much greater performance at a price of more limited capacity. At the small transmission ranges proposed in the architecture, the decrease in customer capacity does not impact the service sets too severely.
  • Subscriber stations include a small low profile antenna integrated with a subscriber transceiver 56 that includes a downconverter/upconverter 58 to convert the downstream video 36, data 38 and telephony 40 signals to a form which may be processed in the home, and to convert the upstream subscriber data 52 and voice 54 channels to the required RF.
  • the antenna is relatively directional and may be of a type currently used with existing MMDS systems, being either a small planar array, corner reflecting dipole or parabolic reflector, among other designs. It is preferably high gain compared to an omni-directional monopole or "whip" antennae.
  • the size of the antenna is directly related to the gain and sidelobe, and/or off-axis performance required.
  • the up and downstream channels are preferably diplexed at both the front end and back end so that a single coaxial cable can feed a Network Interface Unit (“NIU”) 60 which demultiplexes downstream signals, multiplexes upstream signals, and splits the signals to the proper interface or input/output device connections.
  • NIU Network Interface Unit
  • the NIU 60 is the component that exists outside the home (versus the HDT, which resides inside the set-top box) and connects the RF radio transport network to the respective individual service networks inside the home.
  • the NIU 60 performs many functions that enable the subscriber to receive the various service sets (i.e. video, data and telephony) through the common network architecture.
  • the NIU 60 takes advantage of lost-cost integrated circuitry to perform the functions of splitting and combining the bi-directional paths of the required signals both cost effectively and reliably.
  • the NIU 60 also takes advantage of the existing in-house wiring for both video and telephony so that the logistics of re-wiring homes can be kept to a minimum.
  • FIG. 5 shows a signal received at the CPE Transceiver that is downconverted and sent via coax to the NIU 60.
  • the NIU 60 sends the signal through a diplexer where the upstream and downstream signals are isolated and combined on a single coax.
  • the output of the diplexer (downstream) is coupled to a pre-amp (if necessary) and then into a splitter that breaks the signal into three equivalent full spectrum outputs.
  • the outputs of the splitter feed individual IF bandpass filters that reject all but the desired signals for the given service.
  • the video signals are once again sent through a diplexer (for upstream/downstream separation) and feed a digital set top box via existing coax distribution cable.
  • the data traffic goes through a diplexer where it feeds a cable modem which in turn is connected to a PC for high speed data applications, i.e. internet, at home banking, etc.
  • the telephony traffic is routed to a demodulator/ADPCM decoder chipset which is connected to a Signaling Control Unit (SCU) for access control, phone ring generation etc.
  • SCU Signaling Control Unit
  • HCT Headend Telephony Control Unit
  • the SCU outputs an analog RJ-11 for in-home telephony distribution.
  • the SCU may conversely contain a small transceiver similar to a cordless phone base station that would connect to all handsets in the home wirelessly. Contention management may be handled by a contention management protocol such as slotted aloha.
  • a single coaxial feed may be employed to offer both services with distribution being performed at a single point with a bi-directional splitter and amplifier. Services may be separated in frequency as they are in existing and planned HFC networks.
  • Another technique that can be used to simplify the NIU 60 even further is the use of telephony return cable modems so that the NIU 60 would only be required to process video and voice with the return path being a voice-like channel that uses the same interfaces as the voice path. Depending on capacity and traffic management concerns, this may be done using a single time shared telephone line or multiple lines.
  • the cost of a MMDS transceiver is substantially less than at 28 GHz due to the same reasons specified earlier for the remote node transceiver. Since the aggregate cost of subscriber equipment is the single highest cost of a wireless access network, even a savings of $10 per subscriber could negatively impact the capital costs by $10 million, assuming 1 million subscribers. Most likely, the cost of the subscriber transceiver alone may be on the order of several hundred dollars less than a comparatively equipped LMDS transceiver. This makes efficient provisioning of DS-0 POTS telephony to subscribers not only economically feasible but also extremely attractive when compared with the cost of doing likewise with LMDS technology.
  • the video signals 36 are disseminated over coaxial cable for in-house distribution to set-top decoders that feed television sets 62 or other video input/output devices.
  • the digital signals 38 may use ethernet or other appropriate protocol to connect to a PC, internet compatible device, or any other desired input/output device 64 that may be adapted to interface in interactive network sessions.
  • Voice/telephony signals 40 are distributed via RJ-11 twisted pair to telephone sets, telecopiers, answering machines and other telephony input/output devices 66.
  • the upstream subscriber data signals 52 and telephony signals 54 are also combined and processed in the NIU 60 for transmission back to the subscriber transceiver 56. Alternatively, some cost may be saved if the downstream and upstream signals are on dual or siamese coax from the NIU 60 to the subscriber transceiver 56, but this obviously requires additional cable and installation effort and expense.
  • a DC voltage may be placed on the coaxial cable by the NIU 60 to feed the transceiver downconverter and upconverter stages 58.
  • the DC voltage may be isolated from the subscriber side of the NIU 60.
  • Battery backup may also be contained within the NIU 60 and used for powering the sections of the subscriber transceiver 56 needed for the voice transmission from the transceiver 56 to the remote node transceiver 14.
  • the battery may be adapted to power the NIU 60 voice card and allow for ringing as well as two-way voice communication.
  • a solar panel at the antenna may be used to trickle charge the battery when not in use.
